    Name        : thunderbird
    Product     : Fedora 8
    Version     : 2.0.0.12
    Release     : 1.fc8
    URL         : http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/
    Summary     : Mozilla Thunderbird mail/newsgroup client
    Description :
    Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Update Information:

    Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.    Several flaws
    were found in the way Thunderbird processed certain malformed HTML mail content.
    A HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to
    crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird.
    (CVE-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413, CVE-2008-0415, CVE-2008-0419)    Several flaws
    were found in the way Thunderbird displayed malformed HTML mail content. A HTML
    mail message containing specially-crafted content could trick a user into
    surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-0591, CVE-2008-0593)    A flaw was
    found in the way Thunderbird handles certain chrome URLs. If a user has certain
    extensions installed, it could allow a malicious HTML mail message to steal
    sensitive session data. Note: this flaw does not affect a default installation
    of Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-0418)    Note: JavaScript support is disabled by
    default in Thunderbird; the above issues are not exploitable unless JavaScript
    is enabled.    A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird saves certain text files.
    If a remote site offers a file of type "plain/text", rather than "text/plain",
    Thunderbird will not show future "text/plain" content to the user, forcing them
    to save those files locally to view the content. (CVE-2008-0592)    Users of
    thunderbird are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
    backported patches to resolve these issues.
